System and method for production readiness verification and monitoring

Abstract

Systems and methods for production readiness verification and monitoring are disclosed. A set of compliance requirements including one or more required-asset identifiers and a set of minimum deployment requirements for each required-asset identifier is received. Each of the one or more required-asset identifiers are associated with a cloud asset required for deployment of a target application. One or more probing messages are generated to determine an availability of each cloud asset associated with the one or more required-asset identifiers, at least one probing response is received from at least one cloud, and the cloud environment is identified as one of compliant or non-compliant for application deployment. The cloud environment is identified as compliant when each cloud asset meets each of minimum deployment requirements and non-compliant when a cloud asset fails to meet one of the minimum deployment requirements. The target application is deployed when the cloud environment is compliant.
